ATV, Motorcycles and all off road vehicles:
So Timber Lakes
is the area where you may ride these... however there are a few things to be aware of. There are a LOT of machines
used in the local area, there are both regulations and precautions.
.
RENTALS: We currently do
not offer rental, though this may change soon. Plaza and Fasttrack in Heber are good businesses to deal with.
We may offer cabinside rental in the near future.
.
RIDING AREA: You may only use the
machines on the roads in Timber Lakes, they must be only driven in the cabin driveway and not on ANY of the grounds.
There are 30 to 50 miles of road to ride on, mostly dirt and some unimproved. I am not an ATV rider though there are
so many machines used in the area people must love riding there. So we are right by National Forest, where I believe
you can rider anywhere. That area is accessable by leaving Timber Lakes and going a few miles up the road and it is not uncommon
to see ATVs on the road up there, so essentiall you can rider there from the cabin at your own risk. Once in the National
Forest you have about a million acres to explore. In the winter ATVs may NOT use the snowmobile access gate to get into
the National Forest directly.
.
WINTER: You may only ride on the roads in winter and we suggest 4 wheel drive machines only.
They are not allowed to cross the easement into the backcountry, that is snowmboiles only.
.
AT THE CABIN: You may only, ONLY
have machines in the driveway. You surrender your deposit if you ride in the yard at all.
.
SPEED: 25mph is the law for all vehicles
in Timber Lakes; you may be ticketed for higher speeds. Be aware that others may ride recklessly, that is not a reason
to join in.
.
TRAILS: There are not any permissable
trails that we know of, and riding on private property is heavily forbidden and punished as is riding on the cabin grounds.
You will lose your deposit to sater with for these violations.
.
PERMITS: You must obtain permits
from us in order to both ride the machines in Timber Lakes as well as get them in the gate. You will be turned away
if you show up without such passes. We do not guarantee anything regarding machines, ability to use them, enter with
them and the entire process of planned use, use and such is at your own risk.
.
TICKETS: You can be cited for violating
the contract terms below regarding ATV use; the citation will be sent to us and then you are cited by us as well; we don;t
mess around with people who jeopardize our good name. We only want respectful guests who follow policies at our cabin.
We have zero tolerance for the rest, please stay somewhere else if you are prone to riding crazy. We pay thousands of
dollars for keeping the place nice and the roads in good shape and we will nail you for disregarding it. Group leaders
must be responsible to actions by any group member.
.
Here are the contract policies as outlined by the local area, signing the contract and agreement with these
policies is required to obtain passes:
.
POLICIES:
1. Operators Agreements. Operating
agreements to operate a four-wheeler, recreations vehicle, ATV, Snowmobile or otherwise are as follows:
a. Stay on designated
roads / trails. Unmarked trails are to be considered private property.
b. Do not trespass on personal property. Do
not ride anywhere but roads and our cabin driveway.
c. Ignorance of personal
property or boundaries is treated the same as being knowing and informed.
d. Do not damage roads / trails
in any way (this includes, but is not limited to “donuts”, spinning out, causing ruts or
grooves in the road, etc.) You may be ticketed
by residents for any infractions. They may report and ticket you later.
e. Obey all speed limits. The
speed limits in Timber Lakes default to 25mph for ALL vehicles!!
f. When traveling through LDS church
property (the snowmobile easement) keep within the set boundaries as marked
by the white poles (all hillsides are off limits except at the stream)-
if you trespass there are snowmobile cops.
g. Citations and violations
will result in fines as outlined in the Fee Schedule, from them and from us!
